East Kellogg Expansion

With more lanes, new intersection designs and improved access to the Kansas Turnpike, improvements along East Kellogg will add up to improved travel in east Wichita. The collaborative plan is a partnership between the City of Wichita, the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) and Kansas Turnpike Authority (KTA). Improvements are being managed in two projects: the Webb Road intersection and the Greenwich to K-96 corridor. Construction for both projects is anticipated to be complete in late 2021.

Update 01/09/2019

Construction on the main line of East Kellogg from Webb Road through K-96 is progressing, with bridges and underpasses taking shape. Traffic continues to move along frontage roads, allowing dirt moving and grading to shape the terrain in the middle. A total of eight bridges is included in the two projects that make up East Kellogg improvements, and all are in various stages of completion.

Short-term traffic impacts include:

Lane shift on eastbound Kellogg east of Zelta late Wednesday, Jan. 9, schedule permitting, allows traffic to begin using new Kellogg bridge over the Kansas Turnpike.

Long-term traffic impacts include:

Traffic on Greenwich is reduced to one lane in each direction to allow for construction of the east lanes of Greenwich and ongoing work on the new Greenwich bridge. Left turns will continue to be accommodated at the Kellogg and Greenwich intersection. The speed limit on Greenwich will be reduced to 30 mph. Watch for signs alerting drivers to changes and find alternative routes if possible.

The ramp from KTA Plaza 50 to the south frontage road on Kellogg west of Webb Road is open. Stay alert, as KTA traffic merges with eastbound Kellogg traffic just before Webb.

Northbound and southbound right lanes of I-35/KTA are closed between K-96 and East Kellogg toll plazas to accommodate construction of two overhead bridges. The speed limit is reduced to 65mph in this area.

The direct access ramp from eastbound Kellogg to the KTA Kellogg Toll Plaza has been removed. The plaza remains open, however, access to it is from the south frontage road (west of KTA.) Eastbound local traffic can use the south frontage road to reach the Kellogg toll plaza. Eastbound Kellogg traffic is detoured to the K-96 toll plaza. Westbound Kellogg traffic will continue to use the U-Turn at Rock Road to reach the south frontage road and the toll plaza.
